Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

G+G
We had a little quarrel, she and I
  C majorC
She told me just to curl up and die
    D MajorD
I crept out to drown my sorrows

At a joint called no tomorrows
     C majorC                 D MajorD
Where the old man came and looked me in the eye
  G+G
Old Blevins

G+G                     G+G C majorC G+G
I could tell he had some wisdom to impart
   C majorC
Some story that was etched and burned and stamped

Upon his heart
     D MajorD
Then his eyes began to glisten

'Cause he could see that I would listen
  C majorC                 D MajorD
We sat there at that bar 'til nearly three
                   G+G
And this is what Old Blevins said to me

     C majorC                 G+G
He said "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
           C majorC        D MajorD
In Tijuana blah blah blah back in 1963
C majorC                 G+G
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
                   D MajorD
You should have been there blah blah blah
      C majorC        G+G
Is what Old Blevins said to me

G+G
I sat there and I listened to his words
    C majorC
As they flapped around my head like little birds
    D MajorD
Had he gone plumb 'round the bend

Or could I just not comprehend
  C majorC                  D MajorD
His lips were writing lines I could not read
                  G+G
When suddenly, it all came clear to me

      C majorC                 G+G
As he said "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
               C majorC           D MajorD
Them crazy hippies blah blah blah blah no effect on me
C majorC                 G+G
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
                D MajorD
The great depression blah blah blah
    C majorC         G+G
And he would not leave me be

  A augmentedA
Old Blevins was still talking when I seized my chance to flee
   C majorC                 D MajorD
Back home she's never known I'm not the fool I used to be
  C majorC               G+G
But I know that a man and woman's lives were somehow changed
   C majorC                D MajorD
By a loathesome toothless geezer, incoherent and deranged
    C majorC                 G+G
And my memories of that evening fuel and inner mounting fear
    C majorC              D MajorD
That I might become old Blevins anywhere that they sell beer
       C majorC                 G+G
And I'll say "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
              C majorC
I don't remember blah blah blah blah blah blah
       D MajorD
Mistakes were made
C majorC                 G+G
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
                 D MajorD
How 'bout them Cowboys? blah blah blah
     C majorC        G+G
Like Old Blevins used to say

D MajorD  G+G
Old Blevins
